I said on RLFans that we could do with a Curtis Sironen-type player. I've long thought that, and still do.

Wendell's lad's not bad.

Forecast is not good, which doesn't help.

I don't think I realised the on-field ref *could* overturn the VR; it's surely not the case in the NRL, where what The Bunker says goes, and I thought it was the same in SL as well.

No, it's not. But it's great to have that in the the locker, and it was nearly good enough to win us the game.

Agreed.

I just assumed Nsemba would replace Isa in the second half, but it didn't happen. Can't see why.

Really pleased. And England have two cracking centres in Jake and Herbie.

It is, but at the end of the day, C4 wouldn't stump up any money. As for 8.45 pm: presumably that was selected so as to be too late for the TV national (and local) news. Brilliant.

I agree the BBC coverage was very poor.
